Ahh okay, I see it now. That's fixed the issue with the x-axis, but I don't seem to be able to show any level of granularity other than daily now - the date heirarchy disappears. I ideally want to be able to plot monthly, with the ability to drill into daily if required, and that functionality has now gone.
Sorry to be a pain! I really do massively appreciate your help!
brokencornets yes, it will disappear which is fine, and you can create your own custom hierarchy and in my pbix that is what I did. There are tons of posts on how to create your own hierarchy and here is the link to one such post

Hi. Back to be a pain in the bum again.
I've tried creating my own heirarchies and I've also been able on access your solution on my laptop - but while this approach seems to fix the original problem, it creates others. When I filter down to Month, the months appear to be sorted alphabetically, and also it's not possible to change the access from categorical to continuous, which makes the axis look less pretty, especially on the size of chart I'm looking at (there'll be around 9 of these to a page).
Does anyone else have any other ideas, or do I have to go down the laborious route of updating the end date of the charts every month?

Looks really useful, I've bookmarked the website for future. However, it doesn't (as far as I can tell) solve the issue of not being about to show the x-axis as continuous, which (given the size of my visualizations) means if I have more than 14 months of data the user will have to scroll left or right to see all the data, which is a bit of a deal-breaker.

brokencornets once you drill down to the date level, you will able to change x-axis type to category and it will work. Let's be very clear here, change the table as a date table wouldn't have an impact on the visualization, you can still achieve the same, it is matter of doing it the right way.
